$355.27.

 

Does that have to be Is that MS or Proof?

 

Not necessarily.

Sorry for poking fun with my original response, but I'm with Kurt on this one -- your original question is a bit like "how much does food cost?". You'll have to be a lot more specific to get a serious answer.

 

Perhaps not. Coins like food are worth more in original, unused condition, no?

 

To continue the theme, ask yourself how much does bread cost? To answer you must know if it's white bread, rye, pumpernickel, wheat, 9-grain, French, etc. And is it in a full loaf or sliced, is it made with preservatives or fresh baked, is it day old, etc. How much does a coin increase in value if it's graded? The same amount as bread.

 

Well if you have a coin and you have had it graded by all the grading services you probably aren't going to get back what you put into it.

 

Which raises the question, is oven baked bread considered to be artificially toned?

 

about three fiddy

 

Neither price guide reflects reality as both are what coin dealers report.

As for the OP's question?

The Slabbing of a Coin does not increase it's value unless you can find a sucker that actually believe's that it increases the coins value which is the primary goal of TV Marketers.

 

Understood

 

At least face value.

 

does graded coins add value?

 

It should add value to the coin. When a coin is graded ,the coin is then protected in a holder and its then proven authentic. My opinion, that adds value. I also feel, the buyer of said coin is the one who benefits most from the service. Considering this, I feel the cost of grading sould be the least amount of value added to the coin paid by the buyer. If sold..

 

Agreed

 

The only added value is that the coin has been graded by a third party. But coins value does not change.

 

Slabbing coins adds value for key dates because it removes the possibility of the coin being a forgery. Unfortunately the Chinese fakers have begun putting fake coins in fake slabs so that adds risk in the aftermarket. If you are the one who sends it to TPG then you know for sure that the coin is not faked. Other than key dates and varieties you would want to slab if it is super high grade. There are major price differences between MS 63 - 64 - 65 - 66 - 67 - 68 - 69 - 70. You may be able to grade those differences yourself but buyers are likely to disagree with you. If it is slabbed there is no argument on actual condition.

 

The coin is worth exactly the same amount that it was worth prior to being slabbed. Why would it be worth a different amount? It's still the same coin.

The slab, itself, however is worth something though. The assurance of authenticity, an idea of the grade, even the protection of the coin provided by its plastic cocoon has value as well.

A buyer then pays for both items rather than just the coin. That's why prices can be higher on slabbed coins.
